Last month around 600 people joined us to celebrate National Science Week and take part in some #CitizenScience at Chinchilla Fossil Finders. ⛏️ In addition to enjoying a range of fun and educational family activities, attendees of all ages got their hands dirty, helping Queensland Museum staff sieve and sort numerous megafauna fossils from sediment collected from a nearly palaeontological dig.
